=====================
Hi Hap,

-> And worth trying one of these days. Just have to figure out when.

 HN> Most things are worth trying often more than once!

And some aren't worth trying at all. For instance, at this stage of my
life, I wouldn't want to try bungee  jumping. (G)

->  HN> Hmmm the only alternative I have for pork is ............more
->  HN> PORK!!^-^

-> Not always the case here.

 HN> Poor Steve will come around eventually!

Key word there is eventually.  It's about like watching a snail do a
marathon. (G)

->  HN> Anne likes red rice the best, even better than brown! Or did you
 HN> mean
->  HN> redbeans and rice? The only rice we have in the pantry right now is

-> I mean the old southern style red rice cookedwith sausage, onion, bell
-> pepper, tomato, etc.  I first had it about 10 years ago in Charleston
-> french fries or such like.  I have some red rice in the fridge right now

 HN> I had completely forgotten that "red" rice! My mom always called it
 HN> tomato rice (grin) or spanish rice. What Anne likes is a rice that is

What I call "spanish" rice has some of the same stuff but usually made
with ground beef (or turkey) instead of sausage.  Again, something my
mom never made but I've done an improv version from time to time.

 HN> red before it's cooked a whole grained rice that is much like brown
 HN> rice in texture but has a bit more of a nutty flavor that Anne likes

That's what's in the fridge now.

 HN> best! Particularly with peanut sauce (which I suspect you would NOT
 HN> prefer on yours! )

Probably not but there are other things I can dress it up with.

->  HN> red rice. Key lime pie is my weakness....I do soooooo love it...but
->  HN> hate it when it's not done well...and it seldom IS done well.
->  HN> Sigh....one of those holy grail things I guess (grin)

-> I guess so.  This was a major dud; the rest of the meal was pretty good.
-> Steve wasn't sure about where he wanted to go so I suggested this place;
-> afterward, he said that it was just what he'd been hungry for but didn't
-> realise itbefore supper.

 HN> Last night we had an appt with Anne's financial advisor for her
 HN> retirement funds...and so we went out to a local pizza place and had a
 HN> plain cheese pizza, I wasn't really in the mood for pizza till I had
 HN> that first bite...boy did it hit the bingo spot!

Surprising for a plain cheese pizza or was it a gourmet cheese?

-> And we're back in the mid 80s with good chance of rain most every day
-> thru the week end. Blue skies right now but lots of clouds in them.
 HN> ->
 HN> Yesterday 73 degrees sunshine and no breeze, today 64 cloudy and
 HN> slight breeze...rain by evening

We had rain yesterday but caught a dry spot today between storms.  It's
only in the low 70s--not quite cool enough for a jacket but a long
sleeved shirt felt good when I went out (cuffs were rolled about 2
turns). Beginning to feel like late October. (G)
